Which do you prefer to call a female in a full state of undress in CMNF/ENF Etc? Naked or Nude? I prefer Naked. To me its got a better mouth feel when said.

To me nude does not have as much impact to me as the word naked.

Not that i hate the word nude. I think its a good descriptive. Naked is my preference.Or do you not care any way? As long as there is a female with no clothes on your happy? No matter the terminology.

I feel both are totally interchangeable and honestly haven't given it much thought as to which is more appropriate given the situation. If I'm writing a review, naming images, I'll just be sure to try and use both equally, but that's about it really.

Whichever "feels" better in a sentence - "nude art model" IMO sounds better and is more suitable than "naked art model", but "Naked News
" sounds better than "nude news". But it's all subjective, of course, and there are cases when the two words are completely interchangeable.

Interesting question.

Frankly, I think it comes down to the female involved. If she's embarrassed, then Naked is probably the preferred term because it carries with it more emotional shock at being unclothed in front of others who are clothed. If she's not embarrassed, then Nude since she's confident and proud in displaying her feminine beauty for all to see and envy/admire/lust after.

Things like CFNF and CMNF would depend upon whether the undressed female is embarrassed or not: they can go either way. Plus, it could also depend upon whom you are asking: the undressed female might see herself as Naked (CMNakedF) while her guy sees her as merely Nude (especially if she willingly goes along with it) (CMNudeF), showing her off like a piece of artwork to his friends, or a prized automobile by taking it to town. But then again, if they're into some BDSM dynamic (e.g., if he's Doming her to Sub to being unclothed), then he would also see it as CMNakedF.

Like I said, it's an interesting question.

You can choose background of blue [guys], pink [gals], or gray [prefer not to say] (the standard one to which you can always revert).

I took a few art classes in college, and our instructor always told us when referring to art (painting, photography, etc.) we were told to use 'nude'. She said because the word 'naked' can mean different things such as nothing or uncovered (ex: the naked eye). Whereas the term 'nude' simply means not wearing clothes. Another point she brought up was that 'naked' can sound harsh. To say someone is naked it implies that the person is embarrassed or exposed which can make a model feel uncomfortable. So, in an artistic setting it is proper to use the word 'nude'.

As has been said above, I think this one varies by context. Some things just hit the ear wrong. "Naked lady" sounds better to me than "nude lady".

I agree that naked has different connotations. Naked does conjure up a certain image of vulnerability which to my mind works well in ENF. Nude's a more dispassionate term which makes sense in contexts where it isn't necessarily supposed to be sexual.

We say nude beach, for example, because basically it's like a regular beach except nude.

Nude art is basically like regular art except the people aren't wearing clothing.

Nude models are like regular models except they aren't wearing clothing when they do their modelling.

If someone's described as a "nude model" I tend to assume they're a model whose job involves not wearing clothing. If someone's described as a "naked model" I tend to assume that they're a model, quite possible one who models clothing, who is currently in a state of undress.

Naked makes sense to me for situations where the nudity stands out. A naked woman is unlikely to be in exactly the same situations, reacting to them the same way and receiving the same reactions from others, as she would if she were fully clothed.

A nude woman, by the above sort of logic, would be just like a regular woman except not wearing clothes. While of course that's technically true, ENF/CMNF is about the fact that her nudity changes the scene. Maybe that means it's embarrassing for her. Maybe she's confident and acts like she would normally but even then it's arousing for other people and makes her the centre of attention in a way it wouldn't be if she were clothed. It alters the dynamic she finds herself in which, to me, makes her naked rather than nude.
